is almost normative and less frequently predicts its chronicity. As Moffitt (1993) reviews, “life-course-persistent persons miss out on opportunities to acquire and practice prosocial alternatives at each stage of development” (p. 683). Nevertheless, whereas a small proportion of cases may indeed have expressed “antisocial” behavior from infancy on, the onset ages likely cover the whole period preceding adolescence. This is, in fact, illustrated in the discussed paper's Fig. 3, depicting a continuous age distribution rather than a typological dichotomy.
